Rebirth: the fiery age of Mori Gong's children

Chapter 467 The first year of the company

"Okay, okay, just do what Aunt Feng said." When Sheng Xiping heard this, he immediately agreed before his parents.

Is there anything else I can't prepare for this thing? Isn’t it just a house, plus a set of furniture and home appliances? As long as the money is in place, everything will be ready for safekeeping.

Sheng Xiping didn't dare to say anything else, why can't he use his money casually?

With Sheng Xiping's current wealth, wouldn't it be just a joke to find a wife for his younger brother?

Sheng Liancheng and his wife were one step behind, but their son agreed first, and they instantly understood what the eldest son meant.

"Yes, yes, what Xiping said is what we mean. Let's try our best to prepare." Sheng Liancheng and Zhang Shuzhen said at the same time.

The Feng family didn't know the inside story and were very satisfied with the Sheng family's attitude. Immediately, the two parties discussed the date of engagement.

The Sheng family can't stay in Bingcheng forever, so the date can't be too far back, but it still has to leave some time for the two families to prepare.

Finally, it was agreed that on the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, Sheng Xi'an and Feng Shuyan were engaged.

After the two parties agreed, the meal was finished, so they went back to rest.

The next day, Sheng Xiping accompanied his parents and younger brother to the major department stores in the city to buy things for Sheng Xi'an's engagement.

The four wedding gifts in the Northeast are mostly loin meat with four ribs, four fish, four bottles of wine, and four bundles of vermicelli.

After the engagement, the man still has to take back half of the money.

Of course, there are also people who are far away and don’t want to go back to get it, so just count everything in an even number.

Wine and vermicelli are easy to handle. You can buy them directly at the grocery store. The meat has been pre-ordered with the meat seller at the market, so you can just go and pick it up on the morning of the 16th.

As for fish, it is impossible to buy live fish, so we can only buy frozen fish.

There are people digging holes in the ice to catch fish on the Songhua River. As long as you have enough money, you can catch any kind of fish.

In addition to the four gifts, the man also has to buy two sets of winter and summer clothes for the woman. In addition, depending on the financial situation of the man's family, he will give corresponding betrothal gifts.

When Sheng Xikang got engaged to Wu Yuhua, the Sheng family gave her one thousand and one yuan and three gold coins.

There is only one month difference between the year before and after this year, and the engagement date cannot be too different, so Sheng Liancheng and Zhang Shuzhen negotiated and the bride price was also one thousand and one thousand.

As for the three gold medals, Zhang Shuzhen is not a problem. She is really prepared for this.

When she was in the capital last year, Zhang Shuzhen told Sheng Xiping to buy her a bracelet for Zhou Qinglan when she went to Hong Kong City again.

Later, when Sheng Xikang was getting engaged, Zhang Shuzhen simply asked Sheng Xiping to buy two more sets of gold jewelry and keep them.

After all, these people in the family are all grown up, so they are prepared in advance.

This time when she came to Bingcheng, Zhang Shuzhen was thoughtful and brought a set of gold jewelry.

Sheng Xi'an's marriage was settled smoothly, and the gold jewelry came in handy.

In this way, the Sheng family quickly prepared for the engagement ceremony.

On the morning of the 16th day of the first lunar month, everyone in the Sheng family went to a well-known restaurant in Bingcheng with their engagement party, accompanied by Sheng Xi'an's senior brother and sister.

Today's engagement ceremony will be held in a hotel.

The main reason is that the area of ​​the Feng family's family building is too small, there are many two families, and some relatives of the Feng family can't sit apart at all.

This was also the location decided upon by the two families after discussion.

Engagement is the woman's home field, so when the Sheng family arrived at the hotel at the agreed time, the Feng family had already arrived.

Today, many people came to the Feng family, including Feng Jingyi's sister and brother-in-law, as well as Qiao Hui's brother and sister-in-law.

After the two parties met and introduced each other, they both sat down and talked.

As a matchmaker, Sheng Xi'an's senior sister had to say a few words for the occasion, and then show the engagement ceremony brought by the Sheng family one by one.

The four kinds of gifts and winter and summer clothes were all normal, but the one thousand and one gift, as well as the three gold necklaces, gold bracelets, and gold earrings, really shocked everyone in the Feng family.

In this day and age, for most people to get engaged, a bride price of three to four hundred is considered a good gift. Who would have thought that the Sheng family would only spend one thousand and one, and there would be three gold in addition?

Those three pieces of gold jewelry are quite heavy, and together they cost five to six thousand yuan.

"Brother Shanda, sister-in-law, what do you mean by this? It's too grand for your two children to get engaged."

Feng Jingyi looked at the shining gold jewelry and suddenly felt a little nervous.

Isn’t the Sheng family a working class family? He also raised six children, where did he get so much money?

I was given a watch when we first met, and a large betrothal gift and gold jewelry were given to me when we got engaged. Is this still an ordinary working-class family?

Even the Feng family, which has both workers, can't afford so many things.

"That's right, brother and sister-in-law, I know you value Shuyan, but this is too much.

Let's see, let's accept the betrothal gift, but we won't need the three gold coins, right? "Qiao Hui was also shocked.

The scene in front of me feels like what Northeastern people often say: How can you kill someone when you are just having fun?

If you get engaged like this, how will you get married?

"Brother Jingyi, brothers and sisters, don't worry too much, we really have no other intentions.

Mainly, when the third child got engaged a year ago, that was it.

Xi'an is the middle child, and the two children are one month apart from getting engaged, so we can't make two different things?

There are so many children in this house that a bowl of water has to be leveled, so we brought out these today. " Zhang Shuzhen explained with a smile.

It's okay if Zhang Shuzhen didn't say it. When she said this, everyone in the Feng family was even more surprised.

The two sons got engaged one after the other. Is this the case?

God, how much money does this Sheng family have to take advantage of? Do you dare to take it out like this? This is a bit scary.

“Brothers and sisters, don’t worry, this money comes from the right source.

Our home is close to the mountains. There are many medicinal materials and wild animals in the mountains.

In the winter, several of our children go hunting in the mountains, and in the summer we can earn a lot of money just by doing side jobs.

In addition, the boss has been doing business in the past few years and has also made some money. So when our children get engaged, we try our best to make it a better deal, and there is no other intention. "Sheng Liancheng echoed over there.

This matter was also a mistake.

If Sheng Xi'an got engaged first, the Sheng family would definitely not be able to take out so much money and things. It would really stand out.

But it happened that Sheng Xikang got engaged first.

The second son of the Wu family had already made a lot of money by doing business with Sheng Xiping. The Wu family knew the foundation of the Sheng family, so it would be unreasonable if the Sheng family didn't come up with something if Sheng Xikang got engaged.

Since there was an example of Sheng Xikang's engagement in the past, Sheng Xian's side definitely couldn't be any worse.

Otherwise, when the new daughter-in-law comes in and the two sisters chat in private, everything will be revealed? In this way, both parties will be offended.

Therefore, the Sheng family came up with these betrothal gifts after much consideration.

After hearing these words, the Feng family's doubts were relieved a lot.

"Brother, sister-in-law, the Sheng family is sincere in getting married, so they will try their best to give so much. This is because Shuyan is valued.

Why are you hesitating? Just accept it. "Feng Shuyan's aunt quickly came over and persuaded her brother and sister-in-law.

Over there, Feng Shuyan's uncle and aunt also spoke to help the Sheng family.

Feng Jingyi and his wife looked at each other, then smiled and nodded, accepting the engagement gift from the Sheng family.

"Shuyan, since it is given by your future parents-in-law, just accept it. When you marry into the Sheng family in the future, you must be filial to your parents-in-law." Qiao Hui told Feng Shuyan.

Then, Qiao Hui went out to find a quiet corner on the pretext of having something to do, opened the red envelope they had prepared for Sheng Xi'an, and added some money into it.

Originally, they were thinking of giving fifty yuan each to the husband and wife, but looking at it this way, fifty yuan seemed a bit unreasonable, so they added another fifty yuan to each of them and sealed two red envelopes worth one hundred yuan.

After thinking about it, Qiao Hui asked for a piece of red paper from the hotel staff, cut it into four pieces, and put ten yuan in each piece.

When she returned to the house, she quietly gave the four red envelopes to Feng Shuyan and told Feng Shuyan to give the red envelopes to the four children of the Sheng family later.

The engagement ceremony in the Northeast is simple and not too complicated. After the two parties changed the engagement ceremony, they sat down and talked.

The restaurant over there began to serve food one after another. During the meal, the unmarried couple first toasted the matchmaker's wine, and then toasted to the relatives and friends present one by one.

The elders on the Sheng family want to change the lipstick package for Feng Shuyan, and the elders on the Feng family also want to change the lipstick package for Sheng Xi'an.

The elders have finished toasting, and it is the turn of the peers. The peers do not need to give red envelopes.

On the other hand, the juniors Sheng Xinhua and Sheng Xinyu didn't need anyone to teach them, so they rushed to call Aunt Feng Shuyan.

Feng Shuyan's face turned red, she took out a red envelope from her pocket, and gave each child a red envelope.

This was something the Sheng family didn't expect. Sheng Xiping and Zhou Qinglan stopped them, but Qiao Hui told them.

"Look at you two, this is for the children. Did the children call them "Auntie" for nothing? They must give red envelopes.

Don't mess with the children during the Chinese New Year. "

Okay, the elders have spoken, what else can Sheng Xiping and his wife say? I can only tell the children to keep the money and don’t lose it.

After a round of toasts, the engagement banquet officially began.

There were many people today, so we were divided into two tables. The dishes were more exquisite and higher-grade than last time.

At the banquet, everyone exchanged glasses and laughed happily, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

By the time the engagement banquet was over, Sheng Liancheng, Feng Jingyi and others had drank a lot.

Sheng Liancheng and Feng Jingyi's relatives were chatting side by side, as if they were old friends for many years.

"Brother, Xi'an will be your son-in-law from now on. A son-in-law is half a son-in-law. I will leave this brat to you. Please take care of yourself."

"Brother, Xi'an will be my son from now on. If we don't live together, he will be treated like his own son.

Don't worry, I will take care of his affairs from now on. I will take care of him so that he can prosper and he will definitely be better than me in the future. "

Feng Jingyi put his arm around Sheng Liancheng's shoulders and said loudly.

Zhang Shuzhen and Qiao Hui looked helplessly at the drunk man over there and couldn't help but shake their heads. "In-laws, we have been out for a long time, and we will go back tomorrow.

We will try our best to arrange Xi'an and Shuyan's marriage as soon as possible, so you can rest assured. "Zhang Shuzhen held Qiao Hui's hand and said with a smile.

"Going back so soon? How many more days do you want to stay? It's rare for you to come to Ice City. My sister-in-law and I haven't had enough time together. I wish my sister-in-law could always live here."

Qiao Hui also held Zhang Shuzhen's hand tightly and tried to persuade her to stay.

"The main reason is that the eldest son has to go back to the south, where there are a lot of things going on in the company.

The eldest daughter-in-law also came here on leave. Their school had started early and they couldn't always miss work.

Besides, it’s not convenient for us to stay in hotels all the time. After Xi'an buys a house here and settles down, we will come over and stay for a while when we have time. "

Can the hotel compare with home? Staying here for these days, not to mention the children, adults like Sheng Liancheng and the others feel tired and anxious and wish they could go home early.

Hearing this, Qiao Hui sighed, yes, whose family doesn't have something to do? How can you live outside all the time?

"Okay, let's wait until Xi'an and the others get married and settle down. When the in-laws come again, they will definitely stay longer."

It was getting late, and they couldn't stay in the hotel all the time, so they paid the bill and came out, chatted for a while, and then went back separately.

After the Feng family returned home, Qiao Hui asked Feng Shuyan to collect the three gold coins, the bride price, and the red envelope money. It would be best to save the money and carry it with her when she gets married.

On the other side of the Sheng family, after returning to the hotel, Sheng Xian also opened all the red envelopes for red lips.

The Feng family and his wife each gave one hundred yuan, and Feng Shuyan's aunt and uncle each gave fifty yuan.

For this money, Zhang Shuzhen taught Sheng Xi'an a trick, asking him to give the money to Feng Shuyan when he saw Feng Shuyan again and keep it for future purchases of their small home.

"Okay, you and Shuyan got engaged smoothly, then you should hurry up and find a house.

Let me tell you, find a bungalow in a similar location, a little more spacious, at least three rooms. "

Sheng Xiping pulled his brother aside and gave him instructions.

Sheng Xiping didn't talk about buying a building. The main reason is that most of the buildings nowadays are for employee welfare, and buying and selling are generally not allowed.

Even if it can be bought and sold, the area is not large and living there is uncomfortable.

It's better to buy a bungalow and live in it first. Although the bungalow is a bit troublesome, as you need to make your own fire and so on, it is spacious and comfortable to live in.

In the future, houses in urban areas will be demolished. If the area is changed, you can still live in the building, but it will be a few years later.

Buying a bungalow is cheaper and relatively more cost-effective.

"This ten thousand yuan should be enough for you to buy a house and make furniture. If it's not enough, just tell me and I'll send it to you.

As for the home appliances, tell me when you have packed them up, and I will find a way to buy you a complete set of home appliances and ship them over. "

As Sheng Xiping said that, he took out a brown paper bag from his pocket. There was a thick pile of money inside.

The housing prices in Bingcheng should not be as good as those in the capital. Besides, Sheng Xikang bought a courtyard house, so Sheng Xiping paid more.

It doesn't cost much at all to buy a three or four-room house here. Ten thousand yuan is enough to buy a house with some furniture.

"You remember, as soon as you buy the house, you need to find someone to make furniture as soon as possible.

If you think the furniture here doesn’t look good, just ask someone to measure it, then call Laosi and ask her to buy it for you from the Shanghai market.

Let's seize the time and prepare the new house. In June, you and the third child will go home to hold a wedding together. Do you understand? "Sheng Xiping warned his brother worriedly.

There was really no other way. Sheng Xiping couldn't stay in Bingcheng forever. The second idiot was afraid that he wouldn't understand, so Sheng Xiping had to give instructions a few more times and be more detailed.

"I understand, brother. I will pay this money back to you when I get a job later."

Sheng Xian took the money and said a little embarrassedly. He is so useless, his brother has to pay for his marriage.

"Okay, don't talk about useless things in your family. You just need to marry your daughter-in-law smoothly, and you two will live a good life in the future. It's better than anything else." Sheng Xiping smiled and said nonchalantly.

The second child's thinking is really simple. Even if he works, with a month's salary, he will have to save up to 10,000 yuan in the year of the monkey?

Everyone came to Ice City. All the things they needed to do were done. They also visited almost all the places they wanted to visit. They bought things for everyone. They took two rolls of photos and it was time to go home.

So, on the morning of the seventeenth day of the first lunar month, a group of people went to the train station, bought tickets and took the bus back.

Sheng Xi'an and Feng Shuyan went to the station, and Feng Shuyan also brought a lot of things prepared at home.

Get on the train to Changchun in the morning, arrive at the place at noon, get off the train and buy a ticket first, then find a place to eat, then take the train back in the afternoon.

Arrive at Hunjiang River in the early morning of the 18th day of the first lunar month, then take a bus back from Hunjiang River and arrive at Songjiang River in the afternoon.

Before setting off from Bingcheng, Sheng Xiping called home and told Aunt Li when they would be back.

So Aunt Li had prepared food early, and when everyone got home, they quickly packed up the food.

After going out these days, what I miss most is the food at home and the warm fire.

After everyone finished their meal comfortably, it didn't matter whether it was day or night. When they leaned on the kang, they felt comfortable all over.

Zhou Qinglan took such a long leave and went back to school the next day after returning home.

Sheng Xiping drove his parents and four children back to the forest farm.

Originally, Sheng Xiping planned to send his parents back, but the four children clamored to go back to the forest farm.

Sheng Xinhua and Sheng Xinyu still have a few days before school starts. They haven't even lived enough in the forest farm, so they have to go back and stay for a few more days.

Sheng Xinyue and Sheng Xinqi are in love with their grandparents, mainly because they miss Huahua, mother and son, so they want to go back to live in the forest farm.

Sheng Xiping had no choice but to send these grinders back, and made an agreement with Sheng Xinhua and the others to stay for a few days and then go back to Songjianghe to go to school.

After settling down his parents and children, it was time for Sheng Xiping to leave for Shencheng.

Before leaving, Sheng Xiping took his car to the Forestry Bureau compound to find a place to park it.

It was originally said that this car was left to Zhou Qinglan to drive, but Zhou Qinglan didn't like cars and had concerns, so she couldn't drive this car.

After shipping it all the way back, we can't ship it to the south again, so isn't that just a waste of time?

In addition, after a while, Sheng Xiping may have to come back to invest in building a factory, as well as Sheng Xian and Sheng Xikang's marriage. Without a car, it would be too troublesome to go back and forth to the forest farm.

So Sheng Xiping discussed with Zhou Mingyuan to put the car in the forestry bureau compound first and throw the key to Zhou Mingyuan.

If Zhou Mingyuan needs to use the car for something, he can use it. If not, he can park it in the bureau compound.

The main reason is that there is no garage and no place to park at Sheng's house, so we can't always park on the roadside.

If it gets scratched, or if someone breaks off a rearview mirror, removes a wheel or something, wouldn't it be all in vain?

By the time Sheng Xiping arrived in Shencheng, it was already early March.

"Brother, you are finally here. I have good news for you. I have taken a big order for our company."

When Wu Yucheng saw Sheng Xiping, he was so happy that he gave him a big bear hug and then showed off very proudly.

"What a big deal? Look how happy you are." Sheng Xiping pulled away from Wu Yucheng with a look of disgust and asked.

"Well, the office facilities of many departments in the capital need to be renovated, and I found a way to get the order.

We take a 25% deposit and then order from abroad through Gangcheng Company. After the goods arrive in Shenzhen, the buyer will pay the balance and we will ship the goods to them. "Wu Yucheng said to Sheng Xiping happily.

Sheng Xiping immediately realized the key, "When we order through Gangcheng Company, we have to pay Hong Kong dollars or US dollars, right? And the payment we receive is RMB?"

Yucheng, we don’t have that much foreign exchange, so this business is not easy to do. "

To operate this kind of business, a company needs an import and export license, which is no problem. Another point is that it needs a foreign exchange quota.

The company does export, but it has just started exporting agricultural and sideline products. The profits are not that high yet, and there is not enough foreign exchange on hand for the time being.

The order Wu Yucheng contacted was not small, and he was afraid that the company would not be able to handle the business given its current capabilities.

"Brother, don't worry, I have a solution. If we don't have it, then we can contact the units that have foreign exchange quotas.

It's okay, leave this to me and I'll take care of it. "Wu Yucheng seemed confident, patting his chest to confirm.

Sheng Xiping thought for a long time and nodded in agreement. "Okay, you know something about it, so be careful and don't get yourself into it.

You can take more of this part of the profit when the accounts are settled at the end of the year. "

This job is suitable for Wu Yucheng. Others without his background would not be able to do it at all.

In fact, with Wu Yucheng's current strength, he can definitely open his own company and stand on his own.

But Wu Yucheng didn't do this. Instead, he was very active in getting orders and creating profits for the company. He did this just to protect his brotherhood.

Sheng Xiping is not the kind of person who has a lot of money and will not try his best to put all the money into his pocket. Sometimes, it is more conducive to long-term development to give up some benefits appropriately.

"No, brother, we are all our own people. I am also a member of our company. I should contribute to the company."

Wu Yucheng smiled and rejected Sheng Xiping's kindness.

In the spring of 1984, the development situation of several coastal special economic zones became increasingly clear due to the arrival of big shots from above.

This year is also known as the first year of the company.

As more coastal cities open up, various domestic and foreign companies have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain and are developing rapidly.

Some people within the system have also worked hard and are not satisfied with the same job, and are trying to find ways to go south.

The business that Wu Yucheng took over was indeed extremely profitable. For one big order, he made more than five million yuan through resale, which was much faster than the money they made by just flipping corn.

With this profit, Wu Yucheng borrowed a large amount of money from the bank through his connections, then bought a piece of land and started building a business hotel and office building.

In this regard, Sheng Xiping had nothing to say. They had worked hard to operate here for several years and had laid a solid foundation, so naturally they could not give up easily.

Even if Sheng Xiping goes back to build a factory, it doesn't mean that he will just leave this place alone. He will still have to point to this company to sell various wood products.

At the moment, he may just run in both directions. After Sheng Yunfei graduates, this place will be handed over to Sheng Yunfei and Wu Yucheng, so that Sheng Xiping can free up more time to do other things.
